A small cache by the green patch opposite St Marks Church and Marske Hall. This is a chick cache from Mother Nest and York TB Hotel GC1G725 St Marks Church, Marske By The Sea was constructed in 1867 at a cost of £7000. In 1902, on Easter day, when the Towns Folk were at Prayer the Church Tower turned into a giant candle. Are retired Bobby, Sergeant William Stones, who was looking out of his rear window at his retirement home no 133 High Street Marske,noticed the fire and got all the Parishioners out. Many of the Church artifacts were saved including the Screen, Font and the Cross. Sergeant Stones joined the North Yorks Police in December 1864 and served in Northallerton, Laburn, Great Ayton and other places, before coming to Marske in 1876 on promotion to Sergeant. He retired in 1890 and the took up the post of Verger at St Marks. He moved from the Police house no 163 to 133 High Street, his retirement home. On the instructions of the Lord Zetland, who donated the finances to rebuild the damage tower, insisted instead of the old roof, it had to be constructed with a parapet wall around the parameter as seen today. The tower was designed to hold six bells which now include the old bell from St Germains Church. This Bell stood for many years on a pedestal at the back of the Church. Now giving a total of eight bells.
